Law and Mental Health: Optimizing the Measurement of Sexual Victimization: Overcoming Barriers

Описание: Law and Mental Health: Optimizing the Measurement of Sexual Victimization: Overcoming Barriers to Disclosure and Increasing Equity - RaeAnn Anderson, Ph.D.

RaeAnn E. Anderson, PhD is a licensed psychologist, and PI of the UND Sexual Violence Prevention Laboratory, soon moving to the University of Missoui-Kansas City School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Dr. Anderson’s research includes three interrelated programs: optimizing the measurement of sexual violence, dissemination and implementation of sexual violence risk reduction interventions for marginalized populations, and identifying new targets for perpetration prevention. Her research has prompted major changes in the field, as evidenced by her inclusion on the Sexual Experiences Survey Revision team. Her work on measurement has especially demonstrated the need for approaches to improve the recognition and inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals and men’s experiences of sexual violence. She has also been an innovator in exploring how the acceptability of interventions can be targeted to increase access to sexual violence interventions for health disparity populations, especially Indigenous Peoples and LGBTQ+ individuals. Clinically, she was the founder and originating director of the Northern Prairie Community Clinic Dialectical Behavior Therapy program, the only adult outpatient DBT program in the state of North Dakota at the time. She has garnered nearly one million dollars in federal, state, and community grants to support her research including an NIAAA Career Development Award. She has received national recognition for her service to the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and was awarded the UND Foundation Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2022. She also teaches one of the few Human Sexuality courses on campus. She graduated from the University of Kansas (BA), University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (PhD), Ann Arbor VA Healthcare System/University of Michigan Consortium (internship), and Kent State University (postdoctoral) before starting her own lab at the University of North Dakota. When not spreading the joy of science on campus, she enjoys corralling her rambunctious and curious five-year-old, hiking, and crafting.

Learning Objectives:

1. Differentiate unintentional vs. intentional barriers to disclosure.
2. Describe mechanisms of measurement design that address unintentional difficulties in disclosure.
3. Define behaviorally-specific vs. face-valid sexual violence measures.
